In 2025 PICA is inviting expressions of interest from WA and Perth-based artists for the following opportunities: 

• International residencies in Taiwan and Makassar as part of PICA’s International Exchange Program (EOI’s for our residency with Khōj in New Delhi, India  will open in the coming weeks). 
• Hyper Local: 6-month studio residencies or creative developments at PICA providing space for local artists to dedicate time to a long-term project.
• Quick Response: short-term studio residencies or creative developments at PICA for local artists (between 1–4 weeks), including a dedicated studio for writing and curatorial practice. 
• Regional Residency: a four-week residency at PICA with accommodation by partners North Metropolitan TAFE for an artist based in regional Western Australia.

Participation in the Studio program at PICA is open to artists of all disciplines. Applications from First Nations artists, culturally and linguistically diverse artists and artists who identify as D/deaf or disabled are welcomed. 

We encourage residency proposals from artists of all disciplines that:  

• Push the boundaries of art forms through an engagement with contemporary practice.  
• Are rigorous and ambitious in concept, form and approach.  
• Contribute to current cultural and critical discourse and explore questions of our time. 
• Seek to open a dialogue with audiences in new and innovative ways.  
• Demonstrate a committed studio practice and is suitable to PICA’s studio spaces.
